Actually I prefer them through imageshack or other services. My website's storage space is going to run out if we keep using it (eventually).

As for your question, the most obvious thing I'd like to point out is that moving a unit by 180 pixels every 0.06 seconds is going send it flying off the edge of the map almost instantly (in a nice arc). Try moving it by 3-5 pixels instead of 180.

The part with the move unit instantly to point, if you want less leaks use "call RemoveLocation( udg_demonp1 )" to rid of the drastic leaks that would be caused.

What I meant is: Don't waste space by quoting a whole page of text when it is not going to mean anything.
Quote only what you need. In this case, you should have quoted the screenshot of the trigger you were talking about.

EDIT: And you gave bad advice anyway. The massive leaks are not caused by the second trigger. Nobody is going to cringe over demonp1, that is just one point leaked at the 0.1 second mark:
ImageOne leak = not important.
(EDIT2: And that is not even considered a leak, since the variable is used in the next trigger, so it needs to stay in memory.)

What hurts is the point leaks created every 0.06 seconds in the third trigger:
ImageThousands of leaks.
(Exactly 16.666... leaks per second, which is 1000 leaks per minute, which is 60000 leaks per hour.)
